What is the ratio for cos B?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

AB = 48, AC = 64, and BC = 80

Required

Determine the ratio of cosB

The first step is to determine, which type of triangle it is.

Checking for Right Angled Triangle

For a triangle to be a right angled triangle, the square of the largest side must be equal to the sum of squares of other sides

This implies that:

Hence, the triangle is a right angled triangle [See attachment]

From trigonometry;

The adjacent of B = 48 while the hypotenuse is 80;

Hence;

Hence, the ratio of cos B is

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
